Radio to stay on Presets

I did some searching but I didn't find what I was looking for. I want my radio to stay on the preset mode (or whatever mode I leave it on before I shut the car off) when I start my car the next time I use it. Currently, if I leave it on my Presets and the radio is on an FM station when I start my car back up it changes the mode to FM Radio. The same thing goes for a satellite station...it will be on Satellite radio when I start it back up.

Let me know if I am missing something stupid!

If you put the comma after "something" and before "stupid" I bet no one will respond.

Sorta like "we had grandma for dinner"

Ha!

I think this was discussed already. I don't remember seeing a way to do this.

Best of luck. (Subscribing).

What you're describing is the way the system is supposed to work. Our works correctly most of the time, but occasionally will do what you're seen (i.e. starting on satellite after being on preset).

We haven't found a fix for the glitch, but now that I think about it, I don't think we've seen it since the system got updated at the dealer after another issue. Maybe mention it to your dealer and see if a system update is in order.

Alright, thanks! I am going in next week for another issue and I will mention it then.
